I paid $25 for the lot, there are 44 bottles, less than 10 are empty.
Nice score. I had a deal almost exactly like that a couple years ago.
Nice to see other folks starting to get bigger collections. Doesn't make me feel so weird for having as many as I do. LOL.
I've never had one leak. Are you sure the cap is all the way tightened? Not the decorative cover lined up, but the actual cap. They are separate pieces. Pull the decorative cap straight off to access the real cap to ensure it is tightened. Then line the decorative cap back up. You can just open the whole thing together now.
I guess just check the glass for cracks. Check the cap for cracks and ensure the paper/plastic seal is still in place. Other than that I don't know what to tell you.
How does everyone display their decanter/glass AS bottles? I'm looking for ideas.
I have a rack of shelves over my toilet that I keep my aftershave on. Most of my Avon bottles, however, are displayed on my entertainment center in the living room.
Here is what I have for aftershave in my den and part of my display.
That's not even half of it, lol.Until I saw those pictures,
i used to work at goodwill 16 years ago. i used to see these all the time. we started throwing them out. no one would buy them
i am currently on ebay searching for the barber pole and shaving brush. if you guys get me hooked on this stuff i'll be sooooo mad. i used to work at goodwill 16 years ago. i used to see these all the time. we started throwing them out. no one would buy them
Ditto. I got into it initially for nostalgia sake, because I remember seeing these bottles in my Grandparent's bathroom, when I was a kid. But my frugal nature made me dive in. When I could go to an antique store and buy an 8oz bottle of aftershave for $2... a deal like that is really hard to pass up. Now, I literally have a lifetime supply of aftershave!I never gave these a second look until I found b&b and wet shaving...
I'm pretty sure I've thrown out a few too. There was a point that these thing were everywhere, and no one wanted them.
Now that i actually use aftershave, I wanted something that looked cool and is glass.
